PREFACE. 


In  1889-90  I  spent  nearly  a  year  in  Japan  and  some  few  weeks  in 
China.  I  went  for  health  and  pleasure,  devoting  much  of  my  time  to 
making  a  collection  of  Japanese  art  objects,  which  now  is  arranged, 
catalogued  and  mounted,  as  a  donation  to  the  Detroit  Art  Museum. 
I  also  attempted  to  make  a  collection  of  the  Molluscan  Fauna  of 
Japan,  and  was  assisted  in  that  purpose  by  an  intelligent  Japanese 
who  was  in  my  employ  during  my  entire  stay  in  that  country.  He 
visited  at  intervals  the  entire  east  coast  from  Tokyo  along  Sagama 
and  Saruga,  down  along  Kii,  Awa  and  Toza,  along  the  north  shore 
of  the  Inland  Sea  as  far  as  Bingo,  in  communication  with  the  fisher- 
men, who  gather  not  only  fish  but  largely  mollusks,  mostly  by  dredge 
nets,  in  water  sometimes  as  deep  as  thirty  fathoms.  This  region  lies 
between  33°  and  36°  north  latitude,  and  between  133°  and  141°  east 
longitude,  and  this  collection  may  be  fairly  said  to  represent  the 
Marine  Fauna  of  that  limit.  It  is  on  this  east  coast,  moreover,  that 
the  Kuro-Shiwo,  or  Gulf  Stream  of  the  Pacific,  trends  to  the  north 
east,  and  which  accounts  probably  for  finding  occasionally  the  more 
strictly  tropical  species  of  mollusca. 

On  arriving  home  and  sending  specimens  of  my  shells  to  the  Phil- 
adelphia Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  for  comparison  and  determin- 
ation, I  have  been  delighted  to  find  that  Prof.  H.  A.  Pilsbry  speaks 
of  it  in  high  terms.  I  quote  as  follows  from  his  letter  to  me  of 
November  i9th,  1890: 

"  Your  collection  is  a  very  valuable  one  and  includes  many  species 
not  in  our  Museum.  *  *  *  It  would  be  very  useful  to  have  a  list 
of  these  shells  published.  If  you  would  get  up  such  a  list,  giving  exact 
localities  wherever  known,  it  would  form  a  useful  supplement  to 
Dunker's  Index  Molluscorum  Marts  Japonici — the  most  complete  sum- 
mary heretofore  published.

Iv  PREFACE. 

"  You  have  many  forms  not  found  by  Dunker  or  previous  observ- 
ers. *  *  *  A  number  of  your  bivalves  are  probably  new.  The 
Scalpellum  you  sent  is  a  new  form  which  I  shall  name  S.  Stearnsii 
with  your  permission.  It  is  a  very  distinct  species,  more  nearly  allied 
to  the  fossil  S.  Pf  eifferi  Weithof er  of  the  Vienna  Basin  (Miocene) 
than  to  any  living  species.  *  *  * 

"  Of  the  Brachiopoda  sent,  two  are  new  species,  and  one  of  them  I 
propose  to  name  Terebratella  Stearnsii." 

In  accordance,  therefore,  with  Prof.  Pilsbry's  suggestion,  I  publish 
this  list,  which  contains  all  the  species  obtained  by  me,  over  half  of 
which  were  so  rare  and  found  in  such  limited  numbers  and  at  such 
long  intervals  that  they  are  retained  in  my  private  cabinet;  of  the 
others  I  have  abundance  for  exchange  and  for  sale. 

There  are  in  the  collection  72  named  species  not  found  in  Dunker; 
32  species  remain  as  yet  undetermined,  many  of  which  will  prob- 
ably be  found  to  be  new  to  science.  In  Rotella,  Tapes,  Cytheria, 
etc.,  are  many  beautiful  color  varieties  which  I  believe  have  not  been 
before  recorded. 

Preliminary  descriptions  of  a  number  of  the  new  species  collected 
have  been  published  in  The  Nautilus  for  December,  1890,  and  Jan- 
uary, 1891.  An  illustrated  paper  on  the  Brachiopoda,  by  Wm.  H. 
Dall  and  H.  A.  Pilsbry,  will  appear  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Acad- 
emy of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia,  1891;  and  another  paper  by 
H.  A.  Pilsbry,  in  the  same  Proceedings,  will  describe  new  Gastropoda 

and  Pelecypoda.

LIST  OF  JAPANESE  MOLLUSCA,  ETC. 


NOTE.  —  The  numbers  preceding  the  names  of  the  shells  are  those  upon  my 
stock  boxes  containing  my  specimens,  and  correspondents  can  order  by  numbers 
only,  or  by  both  number  and  name. 

Those  species  preceded  by  a  "  xx"  I  have  abundance  of,  and  it  is  not  likely 
that  my  exchanges  will  exhaust  them. 

Those  species  prefixed  by  a  single  "  x"  are  fewer  in  number,  and  it  is  quite 
likely  that  within  a  year  or  two  of  the  date  of  this  publication  the  stock  of  these 
will  be  exhausted. 

Those  species  not  preceded  by  "  x  "  or  "  xx  "  are  limited  in  find  to  one,  or  at 
most  three,  shells;  these  I  retain  in  my  private  cabinet,  and  no  attention  whatever 
will  be  paid  to  requests  for  any  of  these. 

I  am  not  a  dealer  in  shells,  hence  I  expect  to  use  this  material  to  obtain  in 
exchange  from  other  and  original  collectors  desirable  species  not  now  in  my  cab- 
inet. 

Persons  receiving  this  list  and  desiring  to  exchange  will  send  me  a  list  of  what 
they  have  to  offer  of  the  rarer  species,  not  necessarily  showy  or  striking,  among 
which  new  and  undetermined  species  and  varieties  will  be  welcome,  so  long  as 
they  are  known  to  be  such  and  from  the  hands  of  the  original  collectors.  I  have 
no  lists  of  desiderata  to  send  to  anyone. 

Freight  or  postal  charges  in  all  cases  to  be  paid  by  the  sender  and  not  by  the 
receiver,  unless  under  special  arrangements  to  the  contrary. 

Correspondence  will  be  acceptable  in  Spanish,  German,  French,  Portuguese, 
as  well  as  English. 

Persons  having  rare  shells  which  they  prefer  to  sell  for  cash  only  will  be 
treated  with. 

Most  of  the  shells  on  this  list  have  a  fixed  value  on  price  lists  of  dealers  where 
represented  on  such  at  all,  and  these  values  must  be  considered  in  making 
exchanges,  rather  than  exchange  of  species  for  species  or  shell  for  shell.

the  oriental  forms;  they  are,  however,  very  distinct  and 
perfect;  loc.  Kishu  coast  and  Joga-shima  coast.  Prof.

hitherto  described  as  far  as  he  knows.

CIRRIPEDIA. 

605  Scalpellum  Stearnsii,  Pilsbry;    this  is  a  new  and  distinct 

species  named  after  me  by  Prof.  Pilsbry,  who  states  it 
to  be  more  nearly  allied  to  the  fossil  S.  Pfeifferi  Weit- 
hofer  of  the  Vienna  Basin  (Miocene),  than  to  any  living 
species.  (See  Plate  I,  Fig.  i.)  I  only  obtained  twelve 
of  these  at  long  intervals,  during  a  year,  from  the 
fishermen  who  dredged  them  in  six  to  ten  fathoms 
along  the  east  coast  of  Tokyo  to  Inland  Sea.  None 
of  these  can  be  had  in  exchange,  as  they  will  be  sent  to

MOLLUSCA  OF  THE  BAHAMA  ISLANDS. 

I  spent  the  winter  of  1887-8  at  Nassau,  the  capital  of  Bahama  Islands,  and  while  there 
made  an  excursion  covering  several  weeks  to  the  various  sponge  fishing  banks  around  Andros 
Island,  and  to  other  islands  in  the  vicinity.  I  collected  nearly  200  species,  of  which  I  yet  have
